#ForksOut: New Restaurants as of June 1, 2022
Any travel plans this summer? If there are business trips on your calendar, we recommend sneaking in some fun while you’re visiting a new city (or somewhere you haven’t been in a while). And, be sure to treat yourself and your colleagues to a few good meals. With our restaurant network continuing to expand, it won’t be hard to find a place to dine.
40 nationwide locations
Why is the food at Bad Daddy’s so darn good? This chain knows how to push culinary boundaries in all the best ways. We doubt your team will turn down some amber ale queso for sharing. But you might have difficulty deciding on one of their handcrafted burgers. Bad Daddy’s also offers several “giant” chopped salads that are supremely satisfying, sides that are anything but boring (truffle parmesan fries, anyone?), and a full bar.

If you’re not going to give people something special, why bother at all? That mantra makes Bar Louie, the “Original Gastrobar,” so perfect for business dining occasions. Besides a top-notch experience at each location, you can expect a comfortable atmosphere, chef-inspired menu, and refreshingly unique cocktails. Bring your team for happy hour Monday-Friday, or talk to your local Bar Louie location about planning your next private event.

What is “Boston-style” pizza? It is most closely described as Greek pizza—prepared in a pan, but thinner and lighter than Chicago deep dish.

For a relaxed team lunch, dinner, or happy hour, don’t miss it.
